Pre-Shave: Hot shower
Pre-Shave prep: Stephan's Conditioning Smooth Shave Creme
Razor: 6/8" Wade & Butcher Original "Bow" razor, near-wedge, Spike Point (Max restore)
Strop: SRD Premium IV (50 linen/75 leather)
Brush: 23mm Shavemac Silvertip Badger
Soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat Shave Soap
Astringent: Thayers Witch Hazel (Lavender, no alcohol)
ASB: Truffit & Hill Grafton
Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-free Moisturizer
Result: Great lather, BBS shave...wonderful start to the start of my birthday. The "Bow" delivers the goods...Seriously!! This thing is as sharp and smooth as they come. What did you expect? The blade has been christened by none other than Max himself. I would even go so far as to officially certify this as a lethal weapon - If I were caught with this thing in my luggage at any airport security, I would be labeled a terrorist and deported. I also received my MWF soap yesterday...I do love this soap. It lathered up perfectly and effortlessly. I like its scent better than that of the Cella, but performance wise, they are very close, except with respect to one characteristic - the moisturizing capacity of the MWF outshines the Cella in this regard. But since one data point is not sufficient to make a final judgment call, the experimenting will continue.
